At the Official Obama Site: They DO Moderate the Blogs

• Views: 3,375

Well, well. Look what’s going on at the official Barack Obama campaign web site; in one of their community blogs filled with hateful ranting, we discover that the administrators are paying attention to these “unmoderated” blogs after all: Barack Obama : : Change We Can Believe In | C42D’S FEAR AND LOATHING IN AMERICA.

Hi David,

Thank you so much for your involvement in the barackobama.com online community. Your voice is valued here; however, we were forced to remove your recent blog post due to your use of profanity. It detracts from a welcoming community where all people can engage in positive discourse.

This is your first warning. Please be mindful of your language in the future.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation in maintaining a respectful dialogue on our website.

Here’s another blog, by someone who is freaking out over this attempt to “censor” their pearls of wisdom: Barack Obama : : Change We Can Believe In | Phoenix Rising: Do You Know Anyone Who Has Received A ‘Warning?

Diane,I have found this warning message only today.

I am perplexed with confusing thoughts.

A blogger wrote yesterday “they give you only one warning before removing an account” Is this correct?

I checked ACTIVITY in my profile, and NO comments are marked there as REMOVED

I have not posted anything obscene or offensive. But I made about 30 comments on 6/3. between calling to South Dakota. So could you send me the comment which was removed? Such procedure certainly would help people like me. Infiltrators know very well WHY they get a warning. I truly don’t. I would learn from it.

On 6/2 and 6/3 I spent CONSIDERABLE amount of time sending alerts about INFILTRATOR POSTS which I judged as injurious to our purpose. (I see them today as well but am reluctant to act at all on anything). I made a mention of that in a comment, so may be I was reported as revenge. BTW alerting is time consuming and I do not get points for the alerts.

Seeing this comment of mine which someone deemed offensive would enable me to verify it was really mine – and not made by someone else by infiltrating my account. I have read several stories in the last 3 days of just that happening.. No one has access to my computer at my place.

I have NOTED “something going on” with people accounts and emotions in these last 3 or 4 days. This is discouraging and distressing. Accounts busted and (nice) people afraid to comment and leaving. Do not let it happen.

7. The campaign is very well aware that behind every TRUE supporter of Barack on this blog there is an incredible amount of emotions. I cannot tell you how I am feeling today. I gave you my LIFE in these last 4 months as well as 1/7th of my earnings this year. I went broke in February but donated.

To finish – if supporters like me are under a threat of termination on the basis of what I have described, this means that there is something very very wrong happening to the campaign and its future goals. I think my profile can be a clue. And I have done much more.

Here are some more Obamatons, freaking out that a person using the name “JFKFan” was banned: Barack Obama : : Change We Can Believe In | Independent support: Really!

One of our best has been wrongfully deleted from this blog. The site administrator has either been fooled into making this decision or shows bad judgement, and it is a direct threat to all who post here.

Make this right! He’s been here from the beginning and has done more to enlighten us than anyone outside of Barack himself! Anyone who anonymously reported him as “objectionable” is a coward and a troll.

BRING BACK JFKFAN, NOW!!

BRING BACK JFKFAN, NOW!!

BRING BACK JFKFAN, NOW!!

BRING BACK JFKFAN, NOW!!

BRING BACK JFKFAN, NOW!!

BRING BACK JFKFAN, NOW!!

JFKFan’s posts are now deleted, but they contained the usual crude Photoshop illustrations of President Bush as a chimp, John McCain as Hitler, etc.

Obviously, this means blogs and groups like these, which have been pointed out at LGF over and over, must meet the standards of the campaign:

Barack Obama : : Change We Can Believe In | Michael Morrissey’s Blog: 9/11 Truth
Barack Obama : : Change We Can Believe In | Government of, by, and for The Israel Lobby: ‘The Israel Lobby: AIPAC’ 1-5
Barack Obama : : Change We Can Believe In | Marxists/Socialists/Communists for Obama
Barack Obama : : Change We Can Believe In | Adam Roberts’s Blog: The Nature of the Proletariat

And there are many, many more like these still posted at the site, with more going up every day.
